  2. Topics

  3. NIH Data Sharing Policy • http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/data%5Fsharing/

  4. Additional Goals for Data Sharing Tools • Tools should be painless and even helpful • Ideally you should want to use the tools independent of the Data Sharing requirements • Tools should be compatible with existing methodologies • DICOM transfers • easy upload/download of data for processing • database schema adaptable to application use cases • Tools should not require excessive system or database administrator time committment • Tools must be robust and efficient

  5. Building informatics tools for brain imaging research Randy Buckner Dan Marcus May 10, 2006

  6. Data Capture DATA INPUTS NEUROIMAGING GENETICS OTHER SOURCES

  7. Data Capture DATA INPUTS NEUROIMAGING GENETICS BAD DATA OTHER SOURCES Integrity: Do I have the data? Quality Control: Are the data any good?

  8. Local Use DATA INPUTS NEUROIMAGING GENETICS BAD DATA OTHER SOURCES Application: Can I do things with the data? Automation: Can I do these things automatically?

  9. Collaboration DATA INPUTS NEUROIMAGING GENETICS BAD DATA OTHER SOURCES Access: Are colleagues getting the data they need? Security: Are colleagues getting data they shouldn’t?

  10. Public access DATA INPUTS NEUROIMAGING GENETICS BAD DATA OTHER SOURCES Privacy: Am I respecting the rights of the study participants? Convenience: How usable are the data?

  11. CAPTURE QUARANTINE LOCAL USE COLLABORATION PUBLIC ACCESS NEUROIMAGING GENETICS OTHER SOURCES The XNAT workflow • Quality control • Data archiving • Data access • Security • Visualization • Automation • Integration • Data sharing

  12. What is XNAT? The Extensible Neuroimaging (anatomy) Archive Toolkit (XNAT) is… • A workflow • A data archive • Web-based productivity tools New: XNAT is now part of the NA-MIC Kit • WashU is funded by NA-MIC to improve ease-of-installation and interoperability with other tools

  13. More about XNAT • Open Source • BSD-style license based on Slicer License • DICOM Server • Push images directly to XNAT • Can Attach Arbitrary Files to a Subject or Project • Web Interface, Java API, and Command Line Access Utilities • Leverages standard web database tools • Java, Apache, Tomcat, Postgres • Active Developer and User Community • Core developer group under Dan Marcus at Washington University Saint Louis • Further development and application under Randy Buckner at Harvard • Supported by BIRN, NA-MIC, and other projects
